Doctor Strange 2 and the Ultron Bots: MCU Exec reveals their origins!
In Doctor Strange 2, the Sorceror Supreme visits one world in great detail, encountering not-so-friendly but definitely not-crazy versions of the Ultron-Bots from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Where are they from? Thanks to Marvel, there’s official clarity that Doctor Strange 2 doesn’t deliver!
Doctor Strange 2 aka Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has finally given fans of the MCU a decent exposure to the multiverse. Because the latest Spider-Man film was just a small foretaste, after all, Peter Parker never visited other worlds in it. But Doctor Strange ended up in his second solo film in a completely different reality – in which even Ultron robots ensure law and order. But how can that be when the machine being Ultron was a murderous monster? A Marvel executive has revealed in an interview what the film won’t reveal.

Ultron in Doctor Strange 2: Divergence of the Multiverse
In the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Sorceror Supreme lands in a parallel world where it is not the Avengers who protect the world, but the so-called Illuminati (comic fans are familiar with this group). These consist of, for example, another Captain Marvel, Charles Xavier from the X-Men and Richard Reeds from the Fantastic Four – the latter two characters are seen for the first time in the MCU. But anyone who thinks that the genius Richards is responsible for the good Ultron bots in this deviation of the multiverse is wrong.
Executive Producer Richie Palmer explains the origin of these non-homicidal Ultron bots:
“This is a world where Ultron seemed to work the way Tony Stark intended in Age of Ultron… This is a world where Tony made Ultron work as intended.” Little reminder: Ultron was Tony’s plan to protect the world “in a suit of armor”, with a highly intelligent, autonomous AI that can relieve superheroes.
Palmer explains that that’s why Avengers were allowed to retire of their own volition, leaving only the Illuminati operating from the shadows. You can find the interview in the current issue of the paid Film magazine EMPIREbut also partly on the side The Direct.
